Aaron Glenn's first year as New York Jets head coach, for some, is following the script perfectly after a 0-3 start.
Not many gave the Jets much hope for the season, with some predicting just five wins. Through three weeks, the Jets might feel a little hard done by not having won at least one game, but that's the nature of the beast.
Glenn stated he's "not shaken" by the poor start, and in truth, this was always going to be a long process. 2025 was going to be filled with some painful moments, and there will be more to come as Glenn looks to establish his cultural foundation.
And for CBS Sports' Pete Prisco, in his latest power rankings, New York comes in at No. 30 with not much light at the end of the tunnel.
"At 0-3, they are in a big hole and there really isn't much optimism about getting out of it," Prisco writes. "It doesn't matter who plays quarterback."

Jets face monster Week 4 clash vs. Miami
As odd as it is, the Jets aren't in last place in the division; that title belongs to the Miami Dolphins, and Glenn's team will travel to Hard Rock Stadium looking for their first win.
With Miami seemingly as combustible as ever, the Jets have the chance to end their rivals' season, perhaps, if it hasn't been done already.
We aren't sure if Justin Fields will take his place, and going by the last quarter from Tyrod Taylor against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Jets might take a little bit of confidence into this Week 4 clash, but they will need to score a touchdown in the first three quarters, something they haven't done in the past two games.
Is there really no coming back from the 0-3 start? Depending on what your expectations were, absolutely there is, and while it might be hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel for Jets fans, a win over Miami might just be the firestarter this franchise needs.
